WhitneyTransdermal Implants
June 17th 2008 17:16
Another form of body implants, other than subdermal implants, is transdermal implants. This form of body modification falls between pocketing and an implant. Basically, a labret stud- type jewelry planted in the skin, so that the flat back is under the skin and the screw is above the skin.
If you're interested in this type of piercing, you'll need to check the legality of the procedure in your area, as it depends on how the court system in your area interprets transdermals, as they are more complex than a basic piercing. The main concerns are legal issues regarding the use of anesthetics for non-practitioners.
You can mimic the look of transdermal implants by dermal anchoring and surface piercings, although these methods can pose more healing concerns.
Before you get transdermal implants, you want to make sure tat you are aware of the risks, which include:
* Inward Travelling Infection
* Deep Transdermal Placement
* Rejection
* Keloids
* Hypertrophic Scarring
* Bruising
* Implant Rejection
Usually, because of the risks, transdermal implant removal is becoming more common, as more people get the implants.
The aftercare and healing of transdermal implants is very important to prevent rejections of any kind. Although, typically, these implants have a higher sucess rate than surface piercings, there is still a slim sucess rate of about 20%. Many people who have had transdermal implants say that there's never fully healed and ended up just scarring and irritating the skin. So, if you really want to get them, then go ahead, just note that the success rate is low and healing is long and slow.
For the highest sucess at healing transdermal implants, you want to use jewelry other than a labret stud, which will reject, as the base is not large enough to stabilize in the skin tissues. You want to make sure that transdermal jewelry is used; generally the jewelry resembles a flattened pretzel, a figure 8, a clover, or just a strip, with a short bar coming out at a 90 degree angle. The holes in the base of the jewelry is intended to help anchor the jewelry, allowing the tissues to grow through them and closing up the pocket that was created during the procedure.
The transdermal implant procedure requires more advanced tools and techniques, as well as experience. With this procedure, you want to make sure that you're not going to a first timer, but if you do, you want to make sure that a much more experienced professsional will be overseeing to procedure.
You should not play around with safety, especially with transdermal implants becuase it basically involves making an incision about one inch from the implant location, creating a pocket under the skin, and exposing the bar through a hole created by a dermal punch or cutting.
Here's the basic procedure.
1. Where the transdermal will pass through the skn and the incision point is marked about an inch or so away.
2. The incision is opened with using a scalpel and a dermal elevator in order to create the pocket to slide in the implant.
3. Using a dermal punch, or a scalpel, and the dermal elevator as a backing (to not damage underlying tissue), the hole that the implant will pass through is made.
4. Through the first incision, the base of the transdermal is slid in, until its post passes through the hole. If the implant is two parts, the top half is screwed on.
5. The initial incision is closed with sutures or suture tape.
